I'll be downtown at the world 🌎 exchange plaza at noon if anyone wants to run me down 🫡 Going to make the most of my day off, and meet a fan to get some surface keys, to get back to full on coding in bed 😁 (which is got to be horrible for my health 😂)

Without reading the article this is going to be money that's earmarked for emergency repairs because of deficiencies in our safety and security - and he's going to chalk it up as climate resilient infrastructure to win votes. This guy loves just taking a regular turd, and reselling it as polished

So not only does the city buy the waste management site, it also gets to listen to all the lobbyists line up around the block to get their piece of the pie.

If I was mayor of the first thing I would do is get rid of checkbox politics. Like seriously, who's lining up around the block for this thing 😂 But it allows them to say hey, we did 12 outreaches, six people showed up but ignore that.

I just realized the 88 no longer goes to Kanata, it ends at Bayshore. So now trips that used to take 2 buses take 3 instead OCTranspo just seems determined to make transit unusable

Lol. It takes the government 10 to 25 years to do 1 to 20 km. Somehow it's going to be 3.3k in 4 years.

Roads in poor shape? Late for work bc of transit or congestion? Can’t register your kid for swimming or skating bc there aren’t enough spots or the arena closed bc of poor repair condition? Business struggling bc city red tape? Here’s why: decades of underfunded tax base, unsustainable investment 1/

Basically the long form of what I constantly repeat. And you see it on the municipal level as well. One of the pinnacles of marketing is to: - manufacturer a time constraint - manufacturer a unavoidable problem/threat - then present yourself as the solution to the issue you made

Hey #Ottawa -- if you're doing the mail-in voting thing for the upcoming election, remember that package has to be back in their hands by October 16th, over a week before the actual election date, or it won't be counted. If you know who you're voting for already, get those ballots in! #vote

Doug Ford the quintessential fiscal conservative in a nutshell. It's one thing to have poor management and oversight, and employees that took the government for a ride (because that's the game). Straight up self and friends enrichment and corruption is another. Plus the guy doesn't even work.

They need to figure out Tunnyies. Stampede city because only two stops are meaningful. People all over the road.

The US has its fat bear week. #Ottawa has its honking spider season. Transit station are just loaded with full sized beasties. That have been cleaning out the local insect populations by the looks of it. We should put mosquito light attractants around station perimeters and let them get to work.

This low income household wants the things our taxes pay for to survive. I support cost of living plus a bit tax levels. Sutcliffe is promising big ticket items and low prices. Those ideas cancel each other.

This is what our city thinks is peak data science. They created this dashboard so that they could claim their handful of data points was an innovation, and spam as many times as possible a week. It provides you very little useful information, and no indication that things are going to get better.

Occasional Transpo @occtranspo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Simpler people believe what people say, more intelligent people believe in what people do, but the most intelligent people believe in why they are doing it. Nothing is done without reason. All actions are cause and effect. (I'm jotting down a noir for myself so excuse the public musings 😁)

Reposting. After we've had two people hit in 2 days and a good amount of close counters last night. I don't know if my @autowa.app initiative will let me curb #Ottawa Tourism stupidity but I'll try. They want people to go to things, but things suck and you get rammed by cars. Make it make sense.

Yep, but you have some lines you try desperately not to cross. Or you become the monster you seek to fight. Not so much in an economic war, but all conflict is the same. Various degrees of loss. The game is not to lose yourself and the conflict.
